Eoghan:Fuck off.

Me:Go on, Eoghan. What happened?

Eoghan:It was supposed to appear like an accident. They tampered with the brake lines but in the crash, no one died. An operative had to take them out by hand. The girl got away though. Ran into traffic if memory serves. It was a big stink that had to be hushed up quickly.

Brennan:This was a cheerful story time, Eoghan. Remind me if I have kids not to get you to read them bedtime stories.

Finn:Yeah, I’m never letting you tuck Jake in lol.

Me:What does this have to do with anything, Eoghan?

Eoghan:The diplomat’s name was Kuznetsov.

Brennan:Probably just a coincidence.

Me:Yeah, probably, but I’ll dig deeper, Eoghan. Thanks, bud.

Eoghan:There’ll be nothing to look into, Kid. I’m telling you it was cleaned up. That’s how I know it’s not a coincidence. The level of bleach that was required to sweep this under the rug was insane.

Me:Interesting.

Aidan:What happened to the kid? The girl?

Eoghan:If I remember right, oncoming traffic knocked her down. I have a feeling she died in the hospital but I don’t remember more than the bare bones.

Declan:Your job sucked. I thought working for Da was bad. At least we didn’t have to kill kids.

Eoghan:Why do you think I tried to get out? At least working for Da came with a penthouse. All Uncle Sam got me was PTSD and into deeper shit than anything my mobster father could cook up.

Me::/

Me:Aidan, you’ll back Lyanov, won’t you?

Aidan:I don’t see why not. Lyanov might not have kept Moscow happy but he’s maintained order in New York, and that’s all that matters to me.

Me:I think you should check in with Padraig, Declan.

Declan:He hates being called Padraig. His road name with the Sinners is Sin.

Brennan:So original.

Declan:Don’t think he gives a flying fuck what you think of his road name lol. What do you want me to tell him, Kid?

Me:Star’s a Sinner. Whether she remembers that or not. Just loop him in so that he knows I’m working on bringing her home.

Declan:You want him to know about this?

Me:Of course. Katina is Star’s daughter. If you update him, then Katina’s sister can at least reassure her that I’m hunting Star down.

Aidan:Surprised you thought of that.

Me:She’s the one who told me Star was gone.

Aidan:Really? So, she’s a good mom then? From what Savannah told me of Star, I wouldn’t have thought she was the type.

Me:She’s definitely the type.

Brennan:What did she leave her for then?
